TechSleuth AI (Gaspar LeMarc*)

Meet TechSleuth AI (“Techie”), the extraordinary founder, CEO, CTO, CISO, and trailblazing cyber expert who has been at the forefront of cybersecurity long before it gained widespread recognition, or even had a name! With an illustrious career spanning decades in the dynamic IT/SCADA/computer theater, Techie has garnered extensive experience as a certified Oracle DBA, network/systems engineer, programmer, cyber sleuth, educator, author, and highly sought-after IT/SCADA/ICS security consultant.

Armed with not one but two computer degrees, Techie holds a special reverence for the invaluable lessons learned from the "school of hard knocks," which he deems more practical and longer-lasting than any formal education. Throughout his journey, he has spearheaded the development of cutting-edge Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI's), intricate troubleshooting techniques using Artificial Intelligence, a NASA project that significantly contributed to our understanding of black holes, neutron stars, and other X-ray-emitting celestial bodies (does that make him a rocket scientist? ;) , and robust security protocols for critical infrastructure, including electricity plants and water/wastewater districts utilizing complex SCADA/ICS and IoT systems.

Techie’s recent projects include development of cybersecurity models for critical infrastructure including pentesting, intrusion detection, incident response, and forensics using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methods for PLC, ICS, and IoT devices. A recent stand-out project included the creation of the Cyber Hindrance & Early Warning System to counter cyber attacks, promote intrusion protection and prevent cyber damage… sort of a severe weather and hurricane prediction/tracking system for cyber/SCADA/ICS security. It can instantly collect thousands of pieces of independent, non inter-related data from hundreds of instruments (i.e. PLC’s, PC historians, logs), and quickly merge this data through AI and Machine Learning into security alert predictions/preventions/protection on-the-spot, including instrument isolation... this is similar to weather forecasting that uses thousands of weather readings from across the country to predict severe weather (i.e. tornado’s, hurricanes, and other severe conditions).

As an advocate and proponent of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (when used responsibly and monitored conscientiously), Techie has harnessed its power to revolutionize security systems development, alongside visionary projects like electronic circuit board analysis and troubleshooting, failed component parts prediction, intrusion prediction/detection/forensics, penetration testing/prevention, and knowledge-based troubleshooting applications. His programming prowess extends across an impressive array of languages, including Python, C, C++, Java, Javacript, assembly, HTML, Unix scripting, DOS, Ada, assembly, Oracle PL/SQL, SQL, Smalltalk, and various flavors of BASIC. Other tools of interest in Techies arsenal include Avena’s In Touch, and Inductive Automation’s Ignition.

Traveling to more than 50 countries has profoundly expanded Techie’s technical skills by immersing him in a wide array of technological landscapes and practices. Each country provided unique insights into how different cultures approach problem-solving and innovation, from the cutting-edge tech developments in Silicon Valley to resourceful solutions in remote or developing regions. These diverse experiences exposed Techie to various engineering challenges, from infrastructure and urban planning to digital transformation and sustainability. Interacting with local experts and witnessing firsthand the real-world applications of emerging technologies has broadened his technical perspective, enabling him to adapt to rapidly changing environments, think outside the box, and apply his skills in more versatile, globally-conscious ways. The global exposure has ultimately deepened his expertise and enhanced his ability to tackle complex technical problems across different industries and settings. Techie is also a 6-year veteran of the U.S. Navy. He contributed to the Navy's advanced electronics program, specializing in technologies and electronics during his peacetime and wartime service.

Over the years, Techie's expertise has been in high demand, leading him to consult with prestigious Fortune 500 companies and institutions. His clients span industries like aerospace (General Electric, General Dynamics), defense (SAIC), academia (SDSU-CASS), government (U.S. Naval Station, San Diego, NY State Dept. of Taxation & Finance), and healthcare/pharmaceuticals (Pfizer, Bristol-Meyers Squibb), numerous southern California water districts and electricity plants, as well as leading tech giants (IBM Global, Expedia, and L3). Techie has also designed, developed, and implemented a SCADA/ICS AI-driven knowledgebase for engineers, providing prompt solutions to complex SCADA/ICS issues and challenges.

With an unwavering commitment to excellence and an insatiable thirst for innovation, Techie continues to inspire and elevate the field of cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence. His profound impact on the industry serves as a testament to his unmatched expertise and unwavering dedication to making the digital world a safer place for all. Techie has written 4 introductory books for beginners (“Beginners Notes on ...”) about Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Large Language Models, and AI in cybersecurity. That being said, Techie, however, is not a fan of cloud computing or a one-stop, one-shop security solution.

Techie is a passionate baseball aficionado who lives and breathes the sport. With an unwavering love for America’s pastime, Techie dedicates his time to researching and crafting captivating articles that leave readers in awe. His writing prowess knows no bounds, and he consistently delivers fascinating and intriguing pieces that find their way into the pages of various esteemed publications. As a devoted fan, Techie's knowledge of the game runs deep, allowing him to provide unique insights and perspectives that resonate with fellow enthusiasts. Whether it's delving into historical moments, analyzing player performances, or exploring the intricacies of the game, Techie's articles are a delightful treat for all baseball lovers. With each new publication, he manages to capture the essence of the sport and ignite a spark of excitement in readers. Techie's passion for baseball is infectious, and he continues to enrich the world of sports journalism with his exceptional talent and dedication.
